16-17mpg.

I understand that the G isn't supposed to get great gas mileage, and i could have bought a hybrid.

But seriously, why the low *** gas mileage? It's not an SUV.

Must be a 6MT. I average 16mpg on 04 5AT sedan.
Gas mileage on our cars is ****. IS350 that will smoke any stock G gets an average of 21-22mpg.

I just hope 07's will have 6-speed auto trannies. With all that torque it makes no sense to have 3200rpm@80mph.

14 mpg! I hope that's not because of that Weapon-R intake. I get about 19-20 mpg but that's mostly stop and go.

i get consistenly 14.8MPG. I have an 06 6MT. It would be good to compare only teh 6MT users. While I also agree I didn't buy this car for fuel economy, it's a bit ridiculous how poor it is! Wish I had a similar V6 to test on.

I'm not too sure on my mpg but I have about 168 miles with a quarter tank left. Is that any good, because it kinda scares my wallet. I got the car used so there shouldn't be anything about a break in period.

That's not too great. But see the Gas Gauge thread. Even though it says you have a quarter tank you probably still have like 10 gallons left.
